1.1.2.1. As a group we all decided on the topic and felt we could all relate to it and contribute in different areas

1.1.2.2. The course was so helpful as it helped us show the logic we had have to be able to plan a unit that would be beneficial to students in a real life situation

1.1.2.3. The unit ended up taking so much more of my time than I originally planned

1.1.2.4. I felt challenged through the planning, designing and implementation of this unit. But learnt so much through the process.

1.1.2.5. So happy with our final product, but exhausted and very tired by the end due to the number of hours it took us to produce and complete, so many more than I initially though it would take

1.1.3. Evaluation

1.1.3.1. The whole group worked really well as a team and all contributed to the project

1.1.3.2. The hardest part personally was the editing of the written document at the end for myself, as it was such a big document. I had to cut it down and edited the writing so it flowed, correcting grammar and spelling

1.1.3.3. So pleased with our final result. We did a trial on some ten year old students and they really enjoyed the experience. Well worth all the time and effort

1.1.4. Analysis

1.1.4.1. There were no real issues from planning and developing this unit. There was a lot of planning and discussion and evaluation for each stage. All members shared and contributed equally and gave feedback and support where needed as the unit developed

1.1.5. Conclusion

1.1.5.1. This unit challenged my technical skills in applying a unit of work through a Wix site, something I have never done before. Also the challenge to ensure that this unit could be applied in a real life situation with no gaps in the student learning

1.1.6. Action Plan

1.1.6.1. Ideally next time I would love to have more time to spend on planning, designing, developing, implementing and evaluating. This is definitely something I will do again for my classes

2. Instructional Design Principles

2.1. Analysis

2.1.1. Causes of performance gaps

2.1.1.1. Mager & Pipe’s Flowchart

2.1.1.1.1. Can't do

2.1.1.1.2. Won't do

2.1.1.1.3. Causes of Performance Gaps

2.1.1.2. Blanchard & Thacker Process Model

2.1.1.2.1. A training model needs to interact with it's environment and be an "open system" as this keeps the whole system active and transforms the inputs to outputs
